Femara and progesterone cream
Common Questions and Answers about Femara and progesterone cream
femara
I was exhausted, my breasts stung, and I was in a horrible mood. Previous to using progesterone cream I have never had a PMS symptom in my life. This month I decided not to use the progesterone cream but continued the Femara. I felt sure that I would get a positive test because I felt even worse than last month, but sure enough I got a negative pregnancy test and my period came.
Some women respond better to clomid and others to Femara. You should talk to your doctor about checking your 21 day progesterone this cycle. Part of the importance of this is not only to ensure you are ovulating, but the progesterone will indicate if it was a strong ovulation. Higher levels of 21 progesterone can indicate a better chance of pregnancy success.
With the Femara 5mg(CD3-7) and Progesterone (CD16-25) medication, I seem to have put on weight and become quiet moody. Have headaches in the evening usually on CD17 and CD18 and a bloated feeling most of teh days , have observed this in the last few cycles. Is this common with Femara or Progesterone. A bit worried bcos, I also have PCOS and with the weight increase it might hamper my chances of conception. Any advise what could be the reasonand I need to do ?
From different websites I've visited, I am trying natural progesterone cream. It's a natural cream that you rub into your skin once a day for the last 14 days of your cycle (if your cycle is 28 days) and is supposed to help thicken the lining so the fertilized egg will attach. Please check with your doctor on this.
ve heard that with femara and progesterone people get strong preg symptoms... maybe that will help me not read into every symptom this cycle (though i am sure i still will!!) It seems like forever since i've been in the 2ww since we missed last cycle due to the lap.. well GOOD LUCK! keep me updated!
I had four follicles, 28, 22, 18 in right ovary and 13 in left ovary. Day 23 progesterone check was at 40, which means I at least ovulated. Has anyone been in a similar situation with any luck? I was on clomid for 3 mos with no sucess before Femara.

well i just took my first femara pill today (its my first medicated cycle- will be doing trigger, iui and progesterone this cycle) Its similar to clomid in the sense that it stimulates ovulation, and from what i hear also can help increase progesterone in the LP and lengthen it simliar to clomid...
My reproductive endocrinologist put me on progesterone suppositories because my cycles were getting shorter and shorter (like down to 22 days) and I was having mid-cycle bleeding and spotting. I continued on the progesterone for the first 10 wks of my pregnancy. I am just wondering, if I am pre-menopausal....and why is my progesterone so low and is getting on the pill the only way for me to right my hormone levels again? Am I in danger of not being able to have another baby?
I am a 29yr femalen and I am ttc I had all the blood work done and its showing I have PCOS. I was put on metformin 500mg last month and had one cycle of femara 2.5mg and my doctor said it was not working as fast as he wanted to accoriding to the u/s. He said my PCOS was still hindering my ovaries from working properly.So I am going to see a specialist next week. He also increased the metformin to 1000mg and it will increase again on the 14th to 1500mg.
m on my second cycle with Femara and Ovidrel, and we actually just did IUI today. What is it that you are so worried about specifically? I haven't had any bad side effects so far from either drug, although I have to admit I had a tough time giving myself the needle. I ended out having hubby do it for me. As for how long it takes to get your bfp, it really differs from person to person. Some people will get lucky on the first round and other have to keep moving up the ladder.
I was on clomid for 3 months and had u/s that showed good size follicles and had a progesterone test done along with opk tests for months that all pointed to me ovulating.
I am now going to an re who had me start femara with ovidril cd 3-5. I got the 250mg shot on cd 15 with 2 mature follicles and thick lining. RE was happy with the u/s. We did not have ivf or iui- all natural, besides the drugs.
I was looking for anyone how has had success and/or is in the same boat.
now im using VITEX and natural progesterone cream nw.all natural ,tired of drugs.i wll update yu the results in 2 weeks time.coz i have been using these two for only 2 weeks now.lots of baby dust and good luck frm mimi86.
This is my second month on femara. I am on cd15 and my follies are growing so slow - only 13.5mm! (Last month they were 17mm on cd12!). Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Also, what is too slow? Is there a day by which your RE would just stop the cycle and induce AF?
I am just worried to get prego so late in my cycle. The 2 miscarriages I had were when I ovulated late (but were natural cycles, no meds).
Hello, I have Ulcerative Colitis and just found out I have low progesterone. I am trying to get pregnant and I wanted to know what I should do next?
ve been doing some research and I have alot a symptoms that go along with progesterone deficiency and am thinking about ordering progesterone cream to try and correct this issue. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this.
Clomid seems to have more side effects (moodiness, ovarian hyperstimulation, reduction of cervical mucus, and thinning of uterine lining) than Femara. Personally, I have taken both and did like the Femara better, but everyone responds differently. I'm sure your doctor can give you some advice on that. If you have any other questions, let us know. Good luck to you!
